More bad news concerning the 4035, the shaft is to short to be supported by the lower bearing mount.

[helis101]

Couldnt you install without the lower bearing block and run it that way?

sure...not sure if that would pose any problems with gear shredding due to flex but you could do it.

KDE has a longer shaft for the 4035.

Seems extreme but...

Here are maybe one of the first solutions.....

I found this serial connector while surfing.

Edvard showed one in his build but had no reference as to its availability.

It looked like the price was crossed out, and a higher one next to it, but it's 18.51, not 10.51. Almost had to raise the

The $18.51 is crossed out and the new price posted is $14.44. Still not bad. I just ordered a serial deans cable and it was $11.99. This one is certainly more compact.

And also Align has mentioned a new line of 700e capable ESC to be available in next two weeks. They sure work fast!

Hey guy's, Finally! It came in yesterday evening and I freaked out. It's just an amazing looking machine. For the most part the build is easy, but IMO the manual lay-out is $hit.
On the 3rd or 4th page when building the frame, it get's tricky..no big deal but my Trex 500 manual was easier to read and tell which part goes where. Anyways, I ran into a few problem's that slowed me down, like the rudder servo wire got in the way and wouldn't let the Futaba bls251 slide through so I had to cut and file the frame back but it looks neat and fits well now.

As for the elevator box that located by the main shaft bearing's..omg god, Align wtf? I had to cut on my new HV servo's to get it to clear the mount right and set correctly...

Also, I have never built the TT model and to me...the way you have to Glue the grommet's and the bearing's on the tt shaft, haha that's dumb but it worked out and the tail seems really strong and smooth.

I have taken so far over 50 photo's of the build as it goes but nothing really detailed and special, so maybe these photos will help people out in some way. The photos are uploading and will be posted soon.
